Module 3 Assignment 4 "Part B Conflict"

Internal Conflict
　
She as I, have ridden upon wave after wave immersed in a turbulent sea
She however has had to dive far to deep far to deep on to many occasions.
I can not ask her of her needs,
because she as I have grown far to complex.
We have gathered created and propagated our categorization
My needs as hers do not have a voice in such constricting compartments.

Here is the conflict she has as I have enabled self categorization,
I have swallowed whole this burden,
as mother, wife, sister, daughter, Asian, Caucasian, student, worker, heterosexual, bisexual, irrational, introspective, victim.

Here is the conflict I as she can not comprehend the complexities, intricacies, affections, desires, rejections of working within compartments.
Wave upon wave battered brow and blind resiliency
I have swallowed whole this burden.

Here is the conflict she has as I have endured black eyes, broken bones, rape, neglect and horror.
I as she can not will not comprehend love as we have grown accustom to our victimization.
We have swallowed whole this burden.

Here is the scene, humid rain teased Wednesday
I have as she has once again succumbed to rage, a thousand angry grievances, a thousand reckless thoughts.
I have wished for death, and life, and money and gain
and self reveled in my burden.

Here is the scene I as she am mother of three
I have somehow forgotten to breathe.
I breathe through them far too shallowly
and am reliant upon their successes.
I have given this burden to swallow.

Here are the participants,
It is her she is me in Jung envisioned synchronicity I hold my breath she dives
In effortless synchronicity I lift my head she will rise
We scan a tired turbulent sea and try to drown our burden.

Here is our attempt to manage conflict
I shall take the concepts
non-violent communication
I shall proceed to give voice to needs below beneath
that were silenced by my burdens.

Here is the attempt to manage conflict
strip away ideology, harbored myths of sin and shame
strip away the categories, justification of greed driven needs and blame
and talk without the burden.

Here is the conversation to manage conflict
I shall listen with empathy
I shall respond with empathy
non violent communication
I have as she has promised to listen to needs buried beneath a language

Here is the conversation to manage all conflict
We are one in the same
How have we forgotten
How basic our needs
which have been tainted through time
through language and unjustified conflict

Here is the conversation to manage our conflict
We shall listen with empathy
We shall speak with empathy
naked communication
vocal to need

What is left is deep breathing
a quieting sea
Perhaps I will hold her hand today
I am open to be loved.
